I brought this up last week at Sally's blog, but I might as well mention it here, too.
Max Lord's been running around, making trouble ever since the White Lantern Entity thing brought him back. He has his supposed reasons, like his mother being in Coast City when Mongul and Cyborg Superman came to visit, but the gist of it is he thinks he's doing the right thing. What's more, I think he has reason to believe he was brought back to life by the Entity to fulfill a certain purpose, like the other poor schmoes (Carter and Shyera, Boomerbutt, so on). So Max probably figures it's OK, he's just following orders (with his own personal approach, no doubt).
My theory is the Entity is playing Max. Max thinks it's his actions and goals that are important, but what if it's actually the response they prompt from others that's the key? Max may be getting set up for a huge fall and doesn't even realize it. Considering that he seems to have these big plans, and seems to fell pretty clever and justified in his actions, it'd be a nice reversal for him to wind up being the puppet.

Now that's a completely cool take on the whole thing, and I LIKE it. Max is due for a ginormous comeuppance.
sallyp: I wonder if Flashpoint will screw it up, though. They're just about to catch him, then everything shifts, and by the time it changes back to normal, Max scampers off somewhere.
